Rev. Baxter of England took for his
subject the ''Great Crisis is at Hand"
He took up the question of the ''seven
trumpets' of Revelation. These, he
said, would be sounded thrice toward
each of the four parts of the world and
would be a signal to prepare for the
millennium. All calculations pointed
to the period between 1897 and 1900 as
the beginning of the millennium. The

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-When Gree n
Smith raped the senate to order this
morning Col. Robertson, who had been
admitted to the floor, started toward
the chair. He was met on the steps
by an assistant dOor-keeper, who told
him he could not come up. The colo
mel replied that he was presiding Off
Ger of the senate and must take his
seat and stepped forward, when the
doOr-keeper repealed him to the foot of
the stairs. He thereupon stood in
front of the clerks desk and stated
that he had been elected lieutenant
governor of the state, and by the con-
stitution was presiding officer of the
senate, and demanded his seat. A
point of order was raised that none
but members of the senate could take
up the time of that body, which
Smith sustained, and called upon
the dOorkeeper to remove him from
the chamber. The doorkeeper APP

and the two walked out to the main

about the senate doors Senator John

covery, although she is not yet able to

got to blows. She ran into the house

SIX Dysra' strike

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-There are now
more than 5000 silk operatives out Of
work at Paterson, New Jersey. The
TROUBLE started with strike of 800
dyers because the employers would not
agree to new schedule of wages and
conditions. The dyers may be said to
begin the work of silk manufacture,
hence their tsrike soon began to affect
other workers and no more warpS were
given out and as soon as the looms
were empty, weavers began to be laid
of. After that spinners and workmen
in other departments were laid of
until now the number out is about one
third of all in the business in the city.
If the strike keeps up two weeks
| longer, the remaining 10000 workers
will be idle. In one way and another
| it is loss of hundreds of thousands
/ of dollars to the city.

Electricity and the Piano Plague.


1t is no secret, says a continental con-
temporary, that a private scholar is
a ruined man if next door to his resi-'
dence on the same floor a maiden prae-
tees on the piano from o'clock to IL
in the morning, and in the afternoon,
again from 3 to z, besides giving per-
formances to friends in the evening.
Knocking against the wall, wbistling,
bombarding the wall with boots, is all
of no avail against piano-mania. There
has, indeed, hitherto been no remedy,
and we are still waiting for a piano tax.
Lately, however, Berlin electrician has
helped tortured friend by means of a
piano killer. Miss Else fled to her loved
piano on a lovely spring day; her de-
li~ht at touching the keys could be felt
tough the wall. when suddenly-oh,
heavensi-the whole piano went out of
tune, and not single sound was cor
rect The girl trembied with fear, and
the operators next door heard through
the wall how she began to weep, which
softened the heart of the electrician,
who was, however, furiousiy attacked
by his friend when attempting to re-
store its music to the instrument, the
enraged savant swearing that the tor
lures which he had endured from the
piano were not to be atoned for so east
". The case of Else's piano became
widely known, chiefly because now and
then the old clear music returned to the
keys. The greatest musicians and pia-
mist doctors came in hoeks to examine
the strange case, but no one could solve
the riddle, which was finally explained
as follows: A large electro magnet was
put into the room of the tortured sa-
want, and its pole was put close to the
wall. against which stood the piano in
the next house. An electro battery was
connected with the electro magnet
Whenever strong stream of electricity
was turned on its effect could easily be
